Every time of day
Everything you weigh
Every mark you make
Every temp you take
Is a measurement

Human beings compare
There's a standard there
Temperature you take
Time and mass and length
Standard measurement

Oh, can't you see that measurement's no trick
How a measurement can make it all so slick

Standard measurement
Time and mass and length
Temperature you take
Standard measurement
Is a measurement

For length I consult a meter stick
I use a gram to find the mass of brick
If I use liters I'll find the volume quick
Across the world we all use the simple trick
We keep using standard measurement

Oh, can't you see that measurement's no trick
How a measurement can make it all so slick

Standard measurement
Time and mass and length
Temperature you take
Standard measurement
Is a measurement

Everything you weigh
Every temp you take
Is a measurement
